This image is a view of Ithaca from a village in the mountains called Perachori. It is the first of five images that form a panorama (along with sackett_64-67). The view includes the city itself as well as the mountains that surround it, the ocean in the background, and more mountains off in the distance beyond the ocean. There are signs of life nearby where this image was taken because of the tin roof that is visible through the bushes, but there are no people visible in the picture.
